Riassunto

Excerpt from The Evolution of Man, Vol. 1: A Popular Scientific Study; Human Embryology or Ontogeny

When the first edition of this work appeared in 1874, and the third edition followed three years afterwards, the circum stances of biology were very different from what they are to-day. It is true that the struggle for the recognition of the great truths of science, which Darwin had initiated by the publication of his epoch-making work in 1859, had already been decided in his favour on the main issue. But the most important consequence of the new evolutionary doctrine (now firmly established for the first time through his theory of selection) - that is to say, its application to man - still met with the most spirited and widespread opposition.
